Jesse James Garrett, the man who coined the term "Ajax" says the divide between browser based and desktop applications is quickly disappearing, especially with the help of Adobe's new Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR, nee Apollo), which was released by the company June 11th. AIR features support for HTML/JavaScript web applications in addition to the company's proprietary Flash technology.
Garret says AIR will likely eliminate all the extra work by allowing developers to roll their browser specific code into a desktop app. Adobe hopes to see a huge community of developers to begin experimenting with AIR.

Tim, I like "eliminate all of the extra work" idea. Now if you just eliminate the "work", it will really sell! Seriously however, good article, and I would concur. Roy
